\n About Soliton, Inc.<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Soliton, Inc. is a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from The University of Texas<\/span> on behalf of MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Company’s first FDA cleared commercial product will use rapid pulses of acoustic shockwaves as an accessory to lasers for the removal of unwanted tattoos. The Company is based in Houston, Texas<\/span>, and is actively engaged in bringing the Rapid Acoustic Pulse (“RAP”) device to the market. The Company believes this “Soliton” method has the potential to lower tattoo removal costs for patients, while increasing profitability to practitioners, compared to current laser removal methods. Soliton has filed a 510(k) application with the FDA for clearance of its RAP device to improve the appearance of cellulite and is investigating potential additional capabilities of the RAP technology. The device is currently cleared in the United States<\/span> only for use in tattoo removal and is not yet cleared for use to address cellulite.<\/p>\n
